That they're not living beings, aren't they? So they have no emotions and can feel no pain. It seems pretty obvious to me that no, we shouldn't. What for, anyway?  

Being happy.

It consists from a lot of things such as having friends you can rely on, be satisfied with the way you live/how you look, to be in love and be loved (preferably with the one person, ha :D), travel a lot, have enough money to meet your own needs, live in a place you always wanted, etc. Oh, I can go on and on.

But the main thing is being in harmony I suppose, because I went through a period when I had a lot of material stuff, but was hopelessly unhappy. Happiness only real when shared, isn't it? So maybe it's all about the right people (and some Chanel bags please). 

I took to English really seriously after my very first visit to London, where I couldn't communicate with people properly (to be honest, 'properly' is not an appropriate word really, all the conversations I had were absolutely disastrous). 

Then I became disillusioned with London, but nevertheless decided to carry on in case if I ever get an offer to work in the UK, but wouldn't be able to due to my poor English. After that felt in love with a foreign guy (lead to nothing though :D), became frieds with some guys from abroad. So initially the circumstances were sort of pushing me forward. 

Later, was pondering over giving up the whole idea of learning English, but suddenly felt in real love with the language in its totality, I still find it to be absolutely beautiful and charming (even struggling with it every bloody day and thinking I'm hopeless in terms of lanhuages).

Plus, due to globalisation the world is getting (fuguratively) smaller, travelling is not a big thing anymore, and without knowledge of foreign languages (unless you're from English speaking countries, haha) you're confining yourself to only one society/country, whereas there're so many beautiful places and people in the world.

No, unfortunately not at all. But sometimes I'm trying to get myself into thinking that everything happends (and doesn't) for a reason, so you don't have to be dissapointed with the way you live /look like/ achieved something or not in your own life. Keep being positive and carry on! 

Oh, actually for me it's the fact that I tend to forget new words extremely quickly!

The thing is that I'm really good in my native language (I'm kind of a lawyer and have to talk a lot and to do so really impressively, using really long compound sentences, etc) and I get really disappoined, not - gutted with the way I sometimes 'perform' in English! I know it's the gospel truth that without practising there ain't be any results, but you know... when you want to speak like Stephen Fry but you from time to time you express yourself live a chav it's not that much encouraging at all. 

So. for me the main thing is to have patience and don't think of myself that I'm an utterly hopeless linguistic case, to overcome the fact that learning a language literally takes time.
